[QUOTE="Vegas Sporty, post: 1050946, member: 74136"] Stalls and stumbles after driving and sitting 10 minutes in hot weather. Once it dies completely it will start right up as if nothing happened. But once I put it into drive it begins to stumble and eventually stalls again. It feels like an electrical problem. I'm on my 2nd fuel pump as well a list of other parts over the years. No codes are coming up. I cleaned ground straps contact points around engine area. So I think I may have found the problem. I was looking at the OEM fuses/relays box and checked all the fuses. However all the relays are from day one (2001) and have never been looked at or replaced. I took each one out and didn't notice any burning at contacts. I noticed the fuel pump and the ECM has their own relay. So ordered 6 new ones (two types) from ford dealer and I installed. So far so good. I read somewhere that relays will fail intermittently. So I'm hoping this will be the needle in the hay stack I've been looking for. [/QUOTE]
